Join us for The Cedar House Winter Camp!!! ❄️    
Join us for The Cedar House Winter Camp!!!
On Wednesday we are studying The Crusades in history. The kids who wanted to, walked barefoot in the cold to see what it was like for those who were not prepared for the journey to Palestine to fight for Israels’s freedom. The crusaders were told if they would join the cause and fight in battle then their sins would be forgiven and they would go to heaven. We explained to the kids that was a ploy to get more to fight in battle. We read the truth from God’s word on how works can not save us, only faith and trust in Jesus.
Wednesday class lunch by the fire. Our group is a bit smaller on Wednesday and we study different subjects than our Tuesday crew. It is such a great day with so much rich hands on learning.
🦁 Morning time at The Cedar House 🎶
Learning about Corrie ten Boom, and her homeland, the Netherlands. The students all got to use fresh cream to make butter and try out Hagelslag, buttered bread with chocolate sprinkles. We took a prayer walk in small groups and prayed for the Netherlands and that our hearts might be brave and moved by Jesus to do hard things when the stakes are high. Mixing fun and learning into a memorable lesson ❤️
Our Tuesday River and Forest groups made the absolute coolest games in Tinkering. Ms Samantha and Mr Chad were so amazing in getting everything cut and divided so that the students could set to work and make a Cracker Barrel Tricky Triangle Game. So many cuts and so many nails counted, a true labor of love… but the results!! We had so much fun playing after the kids finished.
The squirrels and hedgehogs joined us for milking on Tuesday, and the older students did a great job encouraging them and teaching them how it works.
All in a days work (play) at The Cedar House! Praising, working on the farm, learning about missionaries and their cultures, and trying out a little Hagelslag!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! Our family is so very grateful for all of our TCH families!!!! We pray you enjoy God’s goodness and sing His praise!!! We are so blessed by you!
Psalm 100:4
More bat house building in action in our Tuesday River class 🦇
Learning about leaves and trees on Tuesday, why leaves change their color and fall, and how to identify our local trees. There is so much to leaf study… venation, shape, edges, color and life cycle. We talked about pigments and properties that give leaves their color, and the chlorophyll that turns them green. Each student did leaf rubbings and then tried to identify which leaves they collected based on their various properties.
History around the fire 🔥
Wednesday students got to meet local hero and Mr Chad’s best pal Johnny T. He is Captain of the Garland fire department and came to teach wilderness first aid and survival skills. Expert corner is such a cool way for the students to learn new skills.
Tuesday students learned all about 🦇 and topped off their exploration hanging up their bat boxes they made during tinkering.
The Wednesday students are learning about medieval history, and this week took part in a reenactment of The Battle of Hastings where William the Conqueror led the Norman forces to take over England.
Nothing beats a cup of hot cocoa on a cold day ☕️
Our Tuesday Bears 🐻 took their lesson on our resident trees (including PECAN!) at The Cedar House inside to the barn kitchen corner. Henley’s Grandma has an amazing pecan muffin recipe that they whipped up and enjoyed. Nothing beats a warm treat on a cold day, and special holiday traditions are always so wonderful this time of year ❤️
Our Wednesday Bears & Wolves are getting close to finishing their Battle Axes! It is super fun to tie our History & Tinkering classes together!!
